What class of trains between London and Kent

[camperdown9]

Hi

In 1996 together with some friends I went from Victoria to Dover and then Dover to Ramsgate. Spent the night in the waiting room at Ramsgate station (long story...involved lots of beer). Then Ramsgate to Victoria. I "think" the train from Ramsgate to Victoria connected with a ferry.

Doesn't anyone know what class of classes of locomotive were being used on this route around that time?

Thanks

Alex

Most likely a rake of class 411 units; second most likely a rake of class 423 units.

There may have been ferries at Ramsgate then, but no formal connections, as the station is well inland.

If you had a door to each seating bay, a VEP. If doors on the centre and ends of the carriage only, a CEP (or possibly a CIG by this time).
